Tracing Operations of an Individual Router Interface

To trace the operations of individual router interfaces, include the traceoptions statement at the [edit interfaces interface-name] hierarchy level:

You can specify the following interface tracing flags:

• all—Trace all interface operations.
• event—Trace all interface events.
• ipc—Trace all interface interprocess communication (IPC) messages.
• media—Trace all interface media changes.

The interfaces traceoptions statement does not support a trace file. The logging is done by the kernel, so the tracing information is placed in the system syslog files.
